Red Tea House is a HK Style Cha Chan Teng and have been in business for many many years. It’s one of my go-to place whenever I am in the Scarbrough area.
It’s nothing fancy, it’s like a mama-papa shop hole-in-the-wall type of restaurant but that’s the type of style and vibe I am seeking when I am here. Sometimes, when it’s packed, you have to share a table, which is typical and I don’t mind it.
The staff are friendly and courteous, they are all aunties so give them time to serve you and don’t be aggressive or impatient with them. This is a chill place where it seems most customers know each other and with the staff.
The food are good portion, relatively cheaper price than others. You can order their all-day breakfast, all-day combo, lunch specials, afternoon tea specials or dinner dishes, so many kinds.
My favourite item here is its beef brisket soup noodles. Many other places will heat up the beef brisket in clear broth and just add whatever sauce you want whether it’s curry sauce, special Chinese style but the meat just never submerged in the sauce when they are not dip into the sauce. Instead, at this Red Tea House, they marinated the beef brisket in their secret sauce for many hours, so you can smell and taste the difference. The beef brisket are tender, juicy and they have a good cut with some tendon attached to the meat.
And you can order cold beverage that comes with the combo with no extra charge.
This is not a place that stands out, but the food does its job and it’s a good place for a casual meal.
I highly recommend it.
